I figured out a little trick to help with the scoop bolt the goes throught the horn mount. I could get it finger tight, but I could not get a socket or wrench on it. I used two nuts and locked them together and then used that to tighten the bolt. After that, I removed them and just tightened up another nut on the inside to be sure it stayed secure. Sorry, no pics. I was on a mission to get it done. It's tight in there, but I got it done. Thanks for the quick shipping and quality parts Chase! This setup it too cool!

Im wondering if the design changed, I was a little worried about this part but had no issues at all. Did you put the bolt through after putting the scoop in place? I put the bolt in, tighted it, then put the scoop in place as per instructions. There was plenty of room for a ratchet and socket?

Also some have mentioned placing the water bottle as far right as possible so it dont hit your drl's, the new scoop I got from apex was predrilled so that is no longer an issue.

It appears that there was. Paul and Nathan encountered both configurations while the kit was being developed. One is super easy with plenty of room to install and the other requires a little more effort.

Well I finally got around to ordering the bundle with the black CAI today (my gun hobby has been taking up most of my money). I can't wait until it gets here.

Thank you for your order. I can relate. I just finished an AR-15 build. Well, they are never really finished are they? I still have a couple of odds and ends to wrap up but it is fully functional. Now I just need time to make it to the range and zero the BUIS and EoTech.

That's just what I finished building myself lol. Mine was a 6.5 Grendel on the AR-15 platform. Took me 3 months and over $2,000 to get set up the way I want it.

If your thinking about doing a 7.62 build then I would recommend looking at the Grendel. The Grendel has almost the same ballistics as the 7.62 at short range and better ballistics past 300 yards. It's the same overall length as the 5.56 so it fits in the AR-15 platform instead of the AR-10 platform the 7.62 requires. AR-10 parts are more expansive and seems to be harder to get and less to choose from.

If you may be interested head over to http://www.65grendel.com/forum/forum.php and look around. Bill Alexander who developed the Grendel round is fairly active on the forums as well as other manufacturers who specialize in the Grendel round.

P.S sorry for derailing the thread.

No worries, it will get back on track eventually. Thanks for the link and the recommendation. I guess I should have said I am looking to build something that will be effective beyond 500m. I default to saying 308/7.62. An old Army buddy of mine built a 338 Lapua that he is really happy with but he is in Alaska so I haven't had a chance to give it a try. I like the idea of the Grendal being on the AR15 platform. I will have to check it out.

No problem. It'll easily do that distance. I actually built mine to shoot 800yrds +, not like I have anywhere around to shoot that far though.

How much for scoop and bottle relocate? And... what is the point to the scoop really?

If its already listed, sorry I didn't read the thread. LOL

PM is fine if you don't want to post.

The info is in the opening post but PM sent. When you add those two items to your shopping cart there is an automatic package discount that is applied. The package deal for a scoop and our washer tank relocation kit is $134.98 shipped. Other vendors want almost that much just for the Roto-fab washer tank.

I have to apologize to Apex; I have been overwhelmed with my real job, car shows and starting a car club. Nevertheless, Chase sent me their Washer Tanker Relocation kit and Air Scoop last August. I finally got it installed today. The install was very straight forward and anyone with basic mechanical skills should be able to complete the install with ease.
The car we used is a 2010 Camaro 1SS and already had a CAI previously installed. We also removed the front bumper cover in order to do some other work. While we had the bumper cover off, we also completed this review. The removal of the front bumper cover is not necessary to complete the install of this kit.

It was necessary to remove the attached screws and
push pins that retained the inner fender cover.

Note: This install does not
require bumper cover removal.

We decided to mount the remote fill

instructions. The CAI was removed
and marked for drilling locations.

Once remote fill was mounted,
we re-installed the CAI.

The scoop also lines up well with Stillen air ducts.

We did have to modify the scoop to
clear the Stillen air ducts.

This was a well thought out kit and I really think Apex knocked it out of the park! It was a very simple installation and only took about an hour to fully complete. Most anyone with basic mechanical skills should be able to accomplish this install with ease. We honestly did not find anything negative about the kit and found everything needed to complete the install was included in the kit. So if you have a CAI, this is a must do modification that is very reasonably priced. Contact Chase at Apex Motorsports for this kit and many other aftermarket components. They are truly a customer service oriented company that will go above and beyond to meet your needs.
